If it’s Red 40, that’s a misconception. Red 40 is different from carmine, which is the dye made from crushed beetles.

Uh Oh! I’m going to guess it’s the dye made from crushed beetles?

very interesting but do you know what the red dye is made from? Trust me, you really don’t want to know.

Kool-aid also makes a great semi washable hair dyes. Just mix a few non sweetened packs in boiling water let cool a little bit (still want it to be hot/warm but not so hot that it burns) apply to hair, cover with a plastic bag and let sit 45-60 minutes. then wash will cool water and you have a great funky color that washes out. (Note: this only works with bleach blonde hair, any other colors will only give a tint. And if you want a more permint you can buy color enhancers to mix.)

I’m going to college in Hastings, Nebraska and they have Kool-Aid Days and the museum has a section on Kool-Aid. The guy who invented Kool-Aid has given a lot of money to the college. Pretty nifty.

Kool aid is also a popular dye for knitters and those interested in protein fibers (wool and silk being 2 popular ones). Knitty.com has a series on koolaid dyeing– very fun.

I have that video game and would be happy to give a review. The beginning of the game is the best. A bunch of huge pixels with a face crash into another mass of huge pixels. You’re supposed to infer that you just saw the kool aid man bashing his way through a wall, as he always does.
